Jesus Christ ZAPP members . . . you are a load of sheep. What? Christ . . . I was the last one to post on here but . . . well . . . maybe someday Seattle will have a zine scene. We're getting our ass kicked by the other states!

Chist! The last few comments are from me! One's my last wiseblood. Man I moved here hearing that Seattle people were wusses . . .but . . . well I guess it's true. Too snooty to check the site is ya: Well you is all missing out! Because the new wiseblood is out. It's the "Eye's is wide open but there aint nobody home" issue. It's got riots, punk rock, racism, feminism, winos, and a v.w. beetle named Beethoven . . .. get a goddamned copy you pansies! Make it will make men out of ya! or . . . . women out of ya . . . Christ I don't know . . . you is all so whacked out up here!

This Saturday, January 30, 6-9 p.m., Fantagraphics Books presents the release party for "NEWAVE! Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s," a new book compiling self-published mini-comics of the '70s and '80s, at their store in Georgetown.

For every copy of "NEWAVE!" sold at the party, Michael Dowers, the book's editor, will donate $3 to ZAPP.

The "NEWAVE!" release party features original artwork from Jaimie Alder, Jim Blanchard, Wayne Gibson, David Lasky, Wayno, Steve Willis, Dennis Worden and XNO. Dowers, mini-comics creator and former editor of Starhead Comix and Fantagraphics Books, will be creating and distributing a mini-comic on site. Plus, an allstar comics jam with music by hot Seattle indie rockers Iji.
